“We are especially excited to be pouring our Grapefruit Crank Yanker again this year,’ say’s Bustamante. ‘It is a wonderful 7.2% ABV IPA brewed with Grapefruit and Mango for a wonderful citrus kick.  We just released it statewide this month, and is the perfect beer to enjoy during this year’s Fibark.”
